Steady

The Fit Expert

A great shoe. Most ladies have been getting the smaller of the two if they are a half size, as they fit a little bit big.

Putting the girl on a Pedestal

Alexandra

I bought these and two pairs of Garden of Enjoyments on a summer trip to Toronto. These heels really make you feel like you are on a pedestal, and the world takes notice!

I have owned dozens of pairs of heels and these are (hands down) the most comfortable 'running heels' that I own. These really do 'walk like a clog', I was able to wear them for 14 hours straight (from work, running for a taxi, out to dinner and dancing the night away). Thanks!

Vog Heaven...

Gina Taro - United States

Of course, I was too excited to read that I should have gotten the 8 instead of the 9, being that I wear an 8 1/2. I still LOVE LOVE LOVE my purple/plum 5 inch vogs! They are as comfortable as my friends sneakers, and I can run all day in them. My heel may slip some, but I wear them just like a clog. If you are on the fence about buying these, GET THEM!!! The only time I took them off was to wear my Bing Boots! I am into the high teens now as far as how many I have, I think...I try to hide some from my husband!!!

Oh So Pretty in Purple!

Kim - Minneapolis

Stunning shoe! I have a pair of Leaders, Hi Spur and now this pair of Purple Hi Steadies in my Prepare collection. The most comfortable shoe I've ever owned! I love that they make me taller without the discomfort of a high heeled shoe! The waxed suede is just gorgeous.

Prepare for the best!

I have been lusting after these shoes for the entire season! my heartbreaking decision came when I had to decide between the fabulous black and the penultimate purple! I erred on the side of conservative and walked with the black ones. But I put a mojo on the purple ones so they will be mine!!!!

Fits large...but uber comfy!

Jung - Portland, OR

I just came back from the store after having tried on a dozen or so pairs of shoes (and bought two) and these while super comfortable run quite large. I guess it's because they only come in whole sizes but when I tried on the size 7s without much expectation, (since I'm normally a 8 in most Vogs) they were perfect! The elastic portion is great for people like me who have a high instep. Glad I tried them on in the store!

I love these shoes, but contrary to what some others have said, I found them to fit true to size, not large at all. In fact, I had ordered a size down and had to exchange for my usual size.

Oh myyyyyy!

Shawn - Shuswap BC

I had been watching these since they were first a tantalizing sneak peak. I planned to get them in purple, but find myself the happy owner of a 'yellow' (which is more 'European mustard gold') pair which will be a nice contrast all the purple in my wardrobe. I wear a 6.5 in Bellevues, Daily Miracles and my beloved Prepared Scouts, but the 6 in the Steady fits like a GLOVE. As the name suggest, they are steady, easy to wear, ever SO comfortable, and I'm 5'8" in them! Wowza. Most excellent "I was accepted for my Masters" celebratory shoe. They arrived yesterday, I've worn them all day at work today, and they still feel as good as when I put them on. Love 'em (and may need to eventually add the purple, too)! :-) Thanks Preet!

Disco Dutch!

Sheila - Victoria, BC

My coworker Cory named these the "Disco Dutch" shoes as soon as he saw these pieces of yellow goodness! I adore the comfortable fit - and these are shockingly comfortable to wear. I get stopped every time I wear them. I'm a true 9.5 and bought a 9. Excellent if you have a high arch, as the elastic vamp creates a custom fit.

Beyond Amazing!

Myrrth - DC Metro USA

Can I marry my shoes? I almost wish I could - I got these because they have such a cool look, but kind of figured they would be too high or uncomfortable. But I HAD to at least get them to try them on. Now, of course, you couldn't pry them away from me! I can't believe how a shoe that looks so cool and like a work of art, is so comfortable! I can't believe the height of this heel I'm walking on as if it's a flat! I got the purple, and hope to get the black - and will want any other shoe that is similar in style!!!! I probably won't drive the car in them, or walk the mall even though you probably could - but can obviously wear them a lot. I wear a size 6-6.5 in regular shoes and 6.5 or 7 in Vogs and folks say these run large so was nervous buying a 6.5 which is all Amazon had left. But it fits perfect. And I have wide feet which have plenty of room - so was definitely Karma. They really fit like a purple suede glove!!! Is it wrong to love my shoes so much? Nah

Happy feet

Secure fluevogger - Innisfail, Alberta

Really doesn't get any better than these, I got them in yellow & now my feet shout SPRING! Such happy cheery shoes to bring a little dance to every step.

Purple Steady

Cynthia - Vancouver

I bought my shoes in Gastown... I love, love, love them. They look great with leggings and dresses up a casual outfit. I walk at a good clip in them so I don't even think they are as high and sexy as they are !!

love

Steph - Seattle

These shoes are gorgeous; they are even more beautiful and unique in person. They definitely run large; my usual Fluevog size is 8.5; in Guides I got a 9 and in these I got an 8 and they fit great. I got them in black and wish I could swing the yellow and purple. These are the highest heel Vogs I have and I definitely can feel the difference between these and my minis, even with the platform. These are comfortable and cushy enough and don't rub my feet or anything, but they're not a running around shoe. I do feel quite steady in them, though, in spite of the height.

WHOA! Hello mama!

Vivienne Fox - Australia

Arrived and ON! Whoa higher than expected but deservingly so!. I chose the yellow ones and they are divine....certainly stand out and with black attire....look amazing! The black elastic over the top hold the foot firmly in place...IMMEDIATE COMFORT! Not the All-Day-Stompers that the Merit and all others in that family are marvellous for....however it is after dark where these puppies will come into their own....hello gents!

Another Prepare Beauty!

Amanda - Seattle

These are just amazing! Tried on the yellow at the Seattle store, they are more mustard than sunny. The material is suede, so you should treat them accordingly. Since they are in whole sizes only, you may have to size down (I did, from a true 9.5 in the Guides). The fan style elastic top is just stunning. The purple is a saturated plum, so rich and royal. I suspect most people will buy at least two colors!!! These wll look great with skirts and pants, really versatile.

Elle - Australia

I bought the size 6 (wear size 6 in other Vogs) yellow Steadys. They were gorgeous on and the mustardy yellow acted like a neutral going with pretty much everything. Even with the platform they are high heeled (compared to the Guides which feel almost flat to walk in) but are stable. The problem I had was that they fit about 1 size large - no amount of stuffing in of inserts, gels, and wearing of thick socks helped with keeping my heel in and foot secure. Very sad I had to return these with no option of sizing down.

Loving my new shoes!

Deborah - San Francisco

Arrived home from work this evening to find these boxed and beautiful on my doorstep.

Bought the purple - now thinking about the mustard. They're beyond beautiful. I really wish you all were looking at my feet in these shoes (except that'd be weird).

Saw these online yesterday, called the haight store and - BINGO! They're comfortable with sexy curves. They do run big - and St. Denny, He of the Shoe, was absolutely right in steering me to one size smaller.

Thank you to Denny. Thank you to the magical cobblers that make up Familas Fluevog.

Yowzah!

Stepped into my local Fluevoggerie (that would be Washington DC) to try the fantabulous Rainbow boot, but before I could open my lips to say, "Size 8 please" I spotted these hefty hunks of gorgeous. My man Shawn brought me the purple and the yellow to try, since I could not decide--I pronked around the store in one of each color, which clenched the deal: "I'll take 'em both!" I wear one of each color and amaze the masses. I normally wear an 8 (although I have Vogs all over the map--John does not want us to be complacent), but these lovelies fit me much better in a 7. They have weight, which stabilizes them, the heel does not feel high, the weird toe seam is delightful, and so far they rawk with skinny jeans, short skirts, long skirts, and baby bootcut cords. Will I abandon all my Guides? Nope. But move over in the closet--Prepare Hi is "last"ing love!
